38. Exercise
My beloved friends, we are together on a mountain hike making a brief rest now, during
which we will gather new strength. And we will also look back on the way we have walked thus
far. I, your mountain guide am with you, and I am giving you - spiritually - a refreshing drink. I
am breaking My bread with you and My blessing power flows in each of you.
You are gazing at the steep cliffs you have overcome. You see your fellow-climbers, for
whom you are - symbolically speaking - waiting, together with Me, for all together we want to
reach the summit, our goal. In a camaraderie that is carried by love, everyone helps everyone
else: One for all and all for one. If someone stays back a bit, because the way at that moment
seems just a little hard, all others help, mentally/spiritually so that this cliff can be overcome or
at least gone around.
And so the love-power, which I have given to you with the water of life, streams from you to
all your fellow-climbers, to all those that are with you on the mountain path, at your right and
left, no matter where you are presently in your life. From where you stand, you see the
difficulties that your co-climbers still have to overcome. But see, in order to reach the summit
there is always more than one path. And the most steep path may bring you to your goal more
quickly, but a spirally detour also leads home - on easier paths!
Since you've placed your hands into Mine you've promised all those your support and help,
who are all around you as your partners, your children, your friends and acquaintances. Even if
there are difficulties between you that beg to be dissolved, it is they whom I trustingly let cross
your paths or let accompany you on your way. I also trust that you are ready to help carry their
burden, because you had promised it.
Seen from your human vantage point, all your shared experiences are your own weaknesses
and cliffs, which you shall out grow in this brief resting phase. For when you look upward toward
the goal you will recognize that your steps must now be surer and more deliberate, since the
climb takes place on a narrow crest, which I have already disclosed. So sure, in fact, that you
will even continue on in the thickest of fog, knowing that I am holding you.
Don't stick with your human foibles, do not look at your neighbor, telling him all about his
difficulties, but seek to find your reflection in all things that happen!
I am at our side in order to guide you through this time of rest, for which I have strengthened
you. For see, if you did not learn to bow in deepest humility before your brothers and sisters,
how can you be My powerful instruments of love?
Humility closes your aura. If you are in the right frame of the humility of the heart, nothing
can enter into you, for there is nothing else that will find resonance in you. But do not mistake
this highly spiritual state with a human version, that is, to close yourselves off to your neighbor!
You can also act like a defiant child, which acts similar as with autism, by closing himself to
the outside world, repelling everything, because this child does not want to learn on the way.
Autism is an illness, as you all know, and many a soul that had closed himself off to others in
previous incarnations by crawling in his own shell, just so that he wouldn't have to listen to
anyone or anything, shackled his soul so much that a few incarnations later the soul had great
difficulties in making contact with the outside world, his fellow-man. Before the illness of
autism sets in, there is always the withdrawal, the not-wanting-to-accept, not-wanting-to-bow-in-
humility.
However, if you are irradiated and permeated by My love, ready to stretch out your human
ego on the cross, then your inner light will radiate far beyond yourselves and will at the same
time fashion a protective coat against all negative influences. Then you can pass through the
darkest spheres - in the unity with Me - and from you will stream love and only love, whenever
hatred, scorn, and spiteful rancorous laughter greets you. Before reaching this state, there has to
be the many tests in the earthly garment. These tests, dear brothers and sisters, are your neighbors
through whom I am operating, truly and verily, in order to show you the mirror of your
haughtiness, so that you will not later stumble in the darkness and so that you can face the scorn
and derision steadfastly.
Oh see, there will be times when you will stand there like a rock in the surf! All about you the
earth is in transformation and everything is transforming itself, and whatever does not want to
transform itself will rebel. You will then be flooded by light, full of trust and faith, and your
brothers and sisters will stand before you, ready to pick up the stones in order to throw them at
you, with the words: "Where is your GOD, Who allows all this? How do you dare to believe in a
higher power, which tortures us so?". Will you be able, irradiated by My light, to face your
brothers and sisters steadfastly, no matter whether a stone hits you or not? Will you be able to
accept everything that brews in a roaring and frenzied crowd, in total opposition to you?
I say unto you, just as I stood at Golgotha, and nobody could have harmed Me, if I hadn't
placed my will totally in the will of the FATHER, knowing that what happened had to happen,
so nothing that is not supposed to happen will happen to you.
In these times miracle after miracle will surge through the earth, for the one that lifts up the
stone will not be able to throw it; the one carrying a stick in order to beat you will not be able to
beat you with it; those aiming their guns in order to shoot will not be able to do so. For the light
of love will flood your fellow-man with such force, that they are carried off by this love and
can't help being lifted into the transformation, if they feel even a spark of love within them, even
if this love is only based on the longing to possess a small part of your faith and trust in the
future. Already they are helped through you.
Yet this power can only stream through you, can only cause healing, can only transform the
creation that has sunk unto the bottom, if you, My faithful students, have willingly stretched out
your 'human being' on the wooden cross and have humbly bowed in love before all of your
brothers and sisters, no matter how they have conducted themselves toward you.
I look into your hearts and know about your thoughts. I will take an example from today's
discussion:
Are you the actioneers or is it your fellow-beings and you are being played and thrown back
and forth like a ball? If you, My beloved, link with me you will change your role of the one that
is being played to the player. From being driven into ever newer difficulties to being the
actioneer who gets through his difficulties with Me and My power and uses this power to
dissolve them.
What is My power? My power is love, not your humanly understood love but a love which
understands his neighbor based on your own experiences, a love which has empathy, yet sets
boundaries with kindness, which have to be set so that your neighbor might progress on his path
to the light, instead of entangling himself yet deeper in the maelstrom of pointing the finger and
dispatching blame and guilt.
It is only one of many possible examples. Unified with Me you possess this love-power for
your neighbor, to meet him humbly yet with firm steps, lovingly yet determined to bear
responsibility as My disciple, whom I have called and who willingly places his/her weaknesses
upon the altar of love in order to be strengthened thereof.
I too had to make a decision, and you too must make decisions time and again. Every second,
in every moment you are put before the decision: For Me, for the Light, for JESUS CHRIST, for
the victory of "There shall be a new heaven and a new earth," or for the complacency, for letting
yourselves go and thus remaining in gray - if not to say dark - spheres.
How did I say it? "The lukewarm I will spit out of My mouth." You can read about it.
However, this word does not mean that I send you away from Me, but that you choose the more
comfortable path, which allows you to remain in the oh so beautiful world while separating you
from your true Self.
That is why there are My tests, tests which in actuality you put upon yourselves. For when
your soul gazed upon its upcoming life, it consciously chose certain stations that would help in
its fulfilling its commission.
As I have already explained to you: The human being has a partial free will. He or she can
still avoid this or that station, but some day there will no longer be the opportunity of avoidance.
Some day this beautiful world - by this I mean all the glitter and the hollow power of this earth -
will seem gray, duplicity and sham. Then you will look for your comrades on the mountain path,
and full of longing you will gaze upward, along the climbing rope - symbolically speaking, up
the mountainous cliff. And on the top you see a community awaiting you, which draws you up
and helps you until you've made our connection once again and can fulfill your actual mission.
That is the parable of the workers in My vineyard. But beware and don't be tempted to think:
"I still have time to make up my mind," for see, you do know for how long your soul has been
impelling you, only I know it and therefore GOD, the FATHER. In the earthly garment you do
not know when the soul will say? "It is enough, I have had it."
(Do you ) want to start at the beginning once more? (Do you want to live through) all the
human things one more time? To be an infant yet one more time, totally delivered to the outer
circumstances? Why, My friends, not grasp the climbing rope with both hands, here and right
now, and continue on after a brief rest, together with all the others? Because the rope has only a
certain length. See in this the symbolism! Your brother, your sisters, whosoever may be
connected with you has to his/her disposal only a certain length of rope, and it is up to you to
help even out the differences. Everyone will finally reach the goal, but how depends on every
individual.
Think wisely about My words! My joy is with you. Once again I extend to you the chalice
with the water of life. Receive it symbolically and drink of it! Once again I give to you the bread
as spiritual nourishment, eat of it and feel its strengthening, which I, too, received when I
accepted the cup on the Mount of Olives!
Everyone of you is free to share this cup with Me, is free to walk with Me to perfection. I
bless you, My beloved, here and everywhere, you who promised to be light and who are light
already.
Amen
